Darren Woolley commented on [2012 trends] The year of exciting consolidation
Agency consolidation only occurs because of continued fragmentation at the other end of the market place. New specialist agencies continue to be formed and those that are successful are purchased by the larger predatory networks who continue to fail at creating their own diversification. Besides, there is less risk in simply acquiring successful businesses rather than starting your own.

Darren Woolley commented on CMOs: Changing responsibilities make consultants more important
The problem here is that the complexity and size of the issues arising means that often marketers put roster management into the "too hard basket" or abdicate responsibility to the procurement team only to find that the problems and issues becomes greater to the point they can no longer ignore it. But most are betting on the fact that they will have hopefully moved on to the next role before that happens.

[Adforum Worldwide Summit] Value and costs
[Darren Woolley] Day five of the Adforum CEO Summit in NYC started taking about value and ended talking about costs. It demonstrates the huge gap that still exists between procurement, marketers and agencies, if not on an intellectual level, certainly an emotional one.

[Adforum Worldwide Summit] A day of more
[Darren Woolley] Day four of the AdForum CEO Summit in NYC was a day of more. Not just more time in the bus travelling from agency to agency, and not just more eating and drinking and talking with more agencies, thought there was that. The agency meetings are definitely showing that the industry is about MORE. Doing MORE, influencing MORE, co-ordinating MORE and controlling MORE.
